The suspect in the killing of three Kurds in Paris on Friday was presented to an investigating judge on Monday for possible indictment, while the three others injured in his attack are now out of danger.

The retired train driver said he wanted to commit murders "on foreigners" and "blame all migrants," according to French justice. He opened fire on Friday outside a Kurdish cultural centre in central Paris, killing three people.

Three men were also wounded, one seriously, but their lives are no longer in danger and one of them has been released from the hospital. Five of the six victims are Turkish nationals and the last one is French.

The Kurdish Democratic Council in France (CDK-F) called for a march on Monday at noon from the Rue d’Enghien, where Friday’s attack took place, to Rue La Fayette a few hundred metres away.

The bodies of three PKK activists were found there in January 2013, a murder that has never been solved.
